Fusius

He must learn as well the changes that time has brought about, even in nominatives.

For just as names like "Valesius" and "Fusius" have become "Valerius" and "Furius," so "Arbos," "Labos," "Vapos," and even "Clamos" and "Laces" were the original forms.

And this same letter "s," which has disappeared from these words, has itself in some cases taken the place of another letter.

Where our ancestors used to say "mertare" and "pultare," they also said "fordeum" and "faidi," using "f" instead of the aspirate, as being a kindred letter.

Vero also gives the following statement.

Fusius, who used to be called the bumpkin Hercules, was in the habit of carrying his own mule, while Salvius was able to mount a ladder with a weight of two hundred pounds attached to his feet, the same to his hands, and two hundred pounds on each shoulder.

I myself once saw, a most marvellous display of strength, a man of the name of Athanatus walk across the stage wearing a leaden breastplate of five hundred pounds weight, while shod with buskins of the same weight.

When Milo, the wrestler, had once taken his stand, there was not a person who could move him from his position, and when he grasped an apple in his hand, no one could so much as open one of his fingers.
